Here is my analysis,
Function PackageMatch() in verify_packages.c takes the (name, version, and
arch) of a package in a promise and loops through a list of installed packages.
If the name matches it will then try to match arch and version, beginning with
"*". If the name and version matches, the function returns true, and the
package install count is incremented. Arch is ignored.
the system looks for each arch specified in the promise. But the problem is
that if the system is looking for (foo,*,x86_64) which is not installed the
function ultimately returns false and prints,
(..."!! Unsatisfied constraints in promise (%s,%s,%s)\n",n,v,a);
So now the package (plus arch) in the promise should be marked for install,
because that is what the promise is told to do when using package_architectures
=> { "x86_64", "i386" };
